I need to know everything about Canterbury Tales prologue ASAP.

It's a good book. Maybe you should have read it for your school assignment instead of asking here, or going to fucking sparknotes like an intelligent little high schooler.

And if that's the worst meme you've seen, you're in for a ride.

That IS a shitty meme. I think that's Thomas Aquinas, who has no connection to Thomas a Becket, the Canterbury cathedral, or the history of pilgrimages in that region. He certainly has no connection to Chaucer, except insofar as Chaucer may have read him.

It was the first longform cuck meme.

Go read it and tell us, or use Google. This isn't a homework help board.

I don't even think Aquinas even went to Britain

A group of pilgrims gather at an inn on their way to Canterbury. There's a brief intro to each of the pilgrims including their careers, their personalities, their social standings, and their physical appearances. Chaucer praises many of them ironically by poetically rendering their vices as virtues. An agreement is made that each pilgrim will tell two stories on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back, with the teller of the best tale receiving a free dinner from the innkeeper on their return. Should anyone dispute the innkeeper's judgement, they will have to buy dinner for the whole party. They draw straws and the Knight is chosen to go first.
